Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I couch my words very carefully

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

There was this one couch in Boise that I had quite an experience with. I found 37 cents under the cushions and this allowed me to purchase the most poignant potato pancake in the entire state of Idaho. I've never been the same.

Interests
